Abstract
Aim: This study aimed to investigate the impact of a multimodal exercise programme on the Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a single-group design and repeated measures was used. Twenty-six patients with T2DM (aged 68.58 ± 6.15 years, with a diabetes duration of 14.81 ± 8.35 years) participated in a motor-cognitive exercise programme that consisted of 60-minute sessions, three times per week for eight weeks. Data were collected at two baseline measurements (pretest 1 and pretest 2) and the final measurement (post-test). Health-related quality of life was assessed using the EuroQol five-dimensions-3-level questionnaire.
Results: Although the repeated measure analysis showed no significant differences between measures at all time points, a small positive effect was found on the pain/discomfort domain and EuroQol visual analogue scale eight weeks after participating in the exercise programme.
Conclusions: These results show promising effects of the motor-cognitive intervention on health-related quality of life in patients with T2DM. However, given the study's limitations, such as the small sample size and lack of a control group, further research is needed to investigate the intervention's efficacy.
